Northern Knights vs Wellington Prediction

Stephen Murdoch gave the best batting performance last season for the Wellington Firebirds, and will be the key player for the team in this season too. Along with him, Tom Blundell and Michael Papps also scored a lot of runs in the previous season and are expected to carry on their good form.

Jade Dernbach and Luke Woodcock are the two bowlers in the current squad that the team can hopefully depend upon, based on their previous performances. Brent Arnel and Jeetan Patel have also been bowling well and can give good support to the bowling side and take some important wickets.

Northern Knights vs Wellington Prediction

The Northern Knights have played against the Wellington Firebirds 19 times in the entire tournament and have won 10 times. Since it is the first match in this season for both teams, it will be interesting to see what kind of push start do the teams get from their players. The Knights have an edge over the Firebirds, with having more players in the current squad who did well in the last season and will be hoping for them to repeat the performance.

The Knights have a better track record over the Firebirds from the last season and are most likely to continue with their good form and we predict them to win this match.
